    enough said, what a MOC what a game...

    ah, sorry I was talking about 9V not PF

    Not sure of a link but I just then the middle section out, glue the track on the underside and solder the top rail. Then file down if rough

    Have single studs not been inserted onto liftarms to represent lights befor by LEGO?

    What is ldu?
  6. kieran
    Nope I got the blue one was LDD, the lake one has a strange feel really makes the buggy pop out. thanks for the clarification

    I think the video is spot on, this was a diary write-up type video rather than a presentation of a finished piece of work. I think there is a place for both. The tank looks great and like others have said the repeating firing mechanism is excellent.

    Loads of details for a small build, I like the video as well, the last Pic is a rendering ?

    Thanks for the Tip on dx.com. Never seen that site before

    That's nuts, looks like a lot of fun. Are the blue boars h-bridge controllers? If so what do you pay for the board roughly?

    Hi all, I have been working on recreating the solution detailed above. I have been very luck to get the specs of the motor deejay used and it does work very well. So far I have made only one switch and a mock up of the controller to test things. I have to say it all works really well. I am trying to modify the least number of bricks in a way that does not involve too many tools to allow most people to have a go if they want remote switches. Any way this is what i have so far, this is not the final version as the axle is a little off centre but it works well enough to prove the point. A view of the motor attached to a switch forgot to say a big thanks to deejay for helping with the motor selection.

    I really like this, so much going on. The vide is really well done as well very nice all round. Will you keep this or will it have to go to make way for the next moc?

    Can't wait to see this running, do you control the power to the track
  14. kieran
    Perfect, very nice work, what does it weigh?
  15. kieran
    Brown one is really nice, the iron ties or what ever they are called on the wood look great on this scale, nice one

    I think the 7 is a blue tooth limit, I was looking as a very smiler project a while ago, and realised that this is the main issue with bluetooth and it really gets in the way once you want to add track side accessories. However for trains I think 7 will be more than enough for most home layout controls and will be really nice on a tablet. keep up the good work, cant wait to see it all up and running with a few trains wizing around.

    Do you knw how many connections the android can have open at once? will you be able to have the device control more than one train at a time?

    First class model and video, I did not catch what is sued to change the speed with the gear box, is this via PF or a switch that has to be set before setting off?

    Sounds like you have given this a lot of thought, right now the only non 9V train i have is my EN with custom 9v pickups running a single M Motor housed in the boiler. The solution works very well but as you say adding a few 9V motors to a long trian workes every time and is easy to do. My HE is set-up as a push pull over the six cars and runs 2 9V motors with no issues. Good luck with the final build, train and layout,

    Just backed as well, for me its all about the 9V metal rails but fully understand why some want the PF only option. Wish I could add more... Great work guys
  21. kieran
    You could look at pf engine with 9v pickups, so no batteries but track power, combined with XML motors and large drivers I think could give the best of both worlds
  22. kieran
    Looks like a mix of 9v and pf, looks amazing to me, lots of old and valuable trains there
  23. kieran
    I shudder to think him many bricks are needed to make this solid. If you get the chance and it's easy to do I would love to know what it's weight is, enjoy the show

    The motor will only draw what it needs, so if it needs 1A it will draw 1A from the supply, if the supply is rated at 14A all this means is that in theory a load could draw this current. so if you had 12 motors all drawing 1A the total load on the supply would be approx. 12A leaving you 2A of head room. Does this help?
  25. kieran
    The way the shape is captured with simple bricks is amazing, this could be a UCS set in the theme if it ever gets that far, a bit like the Starwars Yoda 7194. Really nice work
